Poor Barry Allen... You finally get a figure -after a decade of being overlooked by the Mego corporation- only to get killed off the following year. Ah well, at least you wound up being one of the coolest figures in the line.

Ewoks... I've said it before but I'll reiterate for the masses, Gungans gave me a much deeper appreciation for the little furballs and the whole teddybear picnic thing at the end of Jedi.
By now I'm sure just about everyone remotely into SW knows that Ewoks were part of major marketting campaign aimed at getting younger kids into the series. Luckily for George people seemed to easily overlook the fact that the Ewoks were about to kill, cook, and eat the Rebels...
